Congratulations. Now the Real Work Begins.
You get the phone call.
Or the text.
Or maybe your agent calls you and says:
"They accepted your offer."
For about five minutes, everything feels amazing.
You celebrate.
You call your family.
You start looking at furniture.
Maybe you've already decided where the couch is going.
Then your Realtor says:
"Okay. Now we need to get escrow opened."
And suddenly you realize:
Wait... we're not done?
No.
You're not done.
You're just entering one of the most important phases of the entire transaction.
The California Department of Real Estate describes escrow as the period that begins after the buyer and seller agree to the terms of the sale and continues until the purchase is completed. The escrow holder is responsible for holding funds and documents and making sure the contractual conditions are satisfied before the transaction closes.
This is where the excitement of finding the house turns into the detailed work of actually buying it.
And if you understand what happens next, the process becomes much less intimidating.
First: Take a Breath
You've just made one of the biggest financial commitments of your life.
You don't need to panic.
You also don't want to become complacent.
The goal during escrow is simple:
Do what you agreed to do.
Meet your deadlines.
Ask questions.
Review your documents.
Complete your due diligence.
Keep your lender informed.
Don't make major financial changes without talking to your lender.
And let your real estate team help keep the transaction moving.
Step 1: The Contract Becomes Binding
Once the seller accepts your offer according to the contract's requirements, you have a binding agreement.
That means this is no longer just:
"We're thinking about buying the house."
You're now under contract.
That distinction matters.
The California DRE warns buyers that once an offer is accepted and becomes binding, cancelling without a contractual basis can affect the buyer's deposit.
This is why you should never sign an offer casually.
And once you're under contract, you should take every deadline seriously.
Step 2: Escrow Gets Opened
Now the transaction moves into escrow.
Think of escrow as the neutral middle ground between buyer and seller.
The escrow holder helps coordinate:
- Funds.
- Documents.
- Title.
- Payoffs.
- Closing requirements.
- Recording.
- Final disbursement.
The DRE explains that escrow generally holds funds and documents while the parties satisfy the terms of the agreement and prepares the final closing statement showing the transaction's credits and debits.
Who Is Actually Working on Your Purchase?
A typical purchase can involve a surprising number of people.
You may have:
Buyer
Buyer's agent
Seller
Listing agent
Lender
Loan processor
Underwriter
Appraiser
Escrow officer
Title company
Home inspector
Insurance agent
Contractors
HOA
County recorder
That's a lot of moving pieces.
And that's exactly why communication matters.
Step 3: Deliver Your Deposit
Your purchase agreement will specify the amount and timing of your deposit.
The deposit is generally delivered to the appropriate escrow or trust account according to the contract.
The California DRE's consumer guidance emphasizes that buyers should understand the deposit provisions in their purchase agreement and not pay cash for the deposit or down payment.
This is also one reason buyers should be extremely careful with wiring instructions.
Wire Fraud Is Real
Let's stop here for a second.
Real estate transactions involve large sums of money.
That makes them attractive targets for fraud.
If you receive an email telling you:
"Here are the new wiring instructions."
Don't simply trust the email.
Verify.
Call the escrow company using a trusted phone number.
Don't rely on a phone number contained only in the suspicious message.
The DRE specifically warns consumers to be cautious with electronic transfers of funds and to protect passwords.
A $5 million home is exciting.
A fraudulent wire transfer is not.
Step 4: Get Serious About Your Inspection
Now comes one of the most important parts of the process:
Due diligence.
You need to learn as much as reasonably possible about the property.
The California DRE recommends professional inspection of important systems such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, foundation, septic systems where applicable, solar systems where applicable, and structural integrity. It also recommends considering pest inspections.
The Home Inspection Isn't About Passing or Failing
This is a common misunderstanding.
A home inspection isn't like a school test.
The inspector isn't giving your house a:
"92% — congratulations."
The purpose is to understand the property's condition.
You may learn:
- The roof is aging.
- The HVAC system is older.
- There are plumbing concerns.
- Electrical work needs attention.
- Drainage needs improvement.
- Windows are nearing the end of their useful life.
- There are signs of moisture.
- Certain repairs were performed improperly.
The inspection gives you information.
What you do with that information depends on your contract, contingencies and negotiations.
Step 5: Order Additional Inspections When Appropriate
A general home inspection doesn't necessarily answer every question.
Depending on the property, buyers may consider:
- Pest inspection.
- Roof inspection.
- Sewer lateral inspection.
- Structural inspection.
- Foundation inspection.
- Chimney inspection.
- HVAC inspection.
- Pool inspection.
- Septic inspection.
- Solar review.
- Drainage evaluation.
- Mold or moisture evaluation.
You don't necessarily need all of these.
The right inspections depend on the property.
An Older Danville Home May Need Different Due Diligence Than a Newer Dublin Home
This is where local experience matters.
A 1960s home in Danville may present different questions than a recently constructed property in Dublin.
A Livermore property on a larger lot may raise different concerns than a townhouse in San Ramon.
A home with solar creates different questions.
A home with an HOA creates different questions.
A home with a pool creates different questions.
There is no universal inspection checklist for every property.
Step 6: Review the Seller Disclosures
California buyers may receive a variety of disclosures during the transaction.
The DRE identifies documents such as the Transfer Disclosure Statement, Agency Relationship Disclosure, Preliminary Title Report, and financing disclosures among the documents buyers may encounter depending on the transaction.
Read them.
Don't just click:
"Sign."
What Should You Look For?
Look for information involving:
- Known defects.
- Previous repairs.
- Water intrusion.
- Roof issues.
- Plumbing.
- Electrical.
- Structural concerns.
- Insurance claims where disclosed.
- Additions.
- Permits.
- Neighborhood issues.
- Special assessments.
- HOA matters.
- Solar arrangements.
- Other material information.
If something doesn't make sense:
Ask.
Step 7: Review the Preliminary Title Report
Title is one of those things buyers often don't think about until someone says:
"There's a title issue."
The preliminary title report can identify things such as:
- Ownership history.
- Liens.
- Easements.
- Encumbrances.
- Other recorded matters.
The DRE explains that the preliminary title report includes a title search identifying ownership history and liens or encumbrances.
Why Does Title Matter?
Imagine buying a property only to discover there is a recorded issue affecting the property.
That's exactly why title work is performed before closing.
Your title company and escrow team are there to identify and address issues that could interfere with the transfer.
Step 8: Get Your Homeowners Insurance
Don't wait until the last week.
Start working on insurance early.
This has become increasingly important in California.
You want to know:
Can I get coverage?
How much will it cost?
What deductible applies?
What does the policy cover?
Are there exclusions?
Do I need additional coverage?
Your lender will generally have insurance requirements if you're financing the purchase.
Insurance Can Affect Whether the Deal Works
A buyer may qualify for the mortgage.
The appraisal may work.
The inspection may be acceptable.
Then insurance becomes a problem.
This is why insurance should be part of your due diligence, particularly in areas where coverage availability or cost may be a concern.
Step 9: Your Lender Goes to Work
Now your mortgage moves into the next stage.
Your lender may need:
- Updated pay stubs.
- Bank statements.
- Tax returns.
- Employment verification.
- Asset documentation.
- Explanations for deposits.
- Additional credit documentation.
You may think:
"But I was already preapproved."
Yes.
But preapproval isn't the same as final loan approval.
The lender still needs to complete underwriting and verify the transaction.
Do Not Make Major Financial Changes During Escrow
This is one of my biggest warnings to buyers.
Don't suddenly:
Buy a new car.
Open three credit cards.
Take out a personal loan.
Move large amounts of money without explanation.
Change jobs without talking to your lender.
Co-sign for someone else's loan.
Your mortgage isn't finalized simply because the seller accepted your offer.
Talk to your lender before making significant financial changes.
Your Lender May Ask You for More Documents
Don't get frustrated.
This is normal.
You may think:
"I already sent that."
And the lender says:
"We need it again."
Give it to them.
Quickly.
A delayed document can become a delayed loan.
And a delayed loan can become a transaction problem.
Step 10: The Appraisal
If you're financing the property, your lender may order an appraisal.
The appraiser evaluates the property and develops an opinion of value based on relevant information, including comparable properties.
The DRE explains that the lender's appraiser examines the property to determine its value based on comparable homes.
What If the Appraisal Is Low?
Let's say:
Purchase price: $1,300,000
Appraised value: $1,250,000
That's a:
$50,000 difference.
Now the buyer, seller and lender have a problem to solve.
Depending on the contract and loan structure, possible paths can include:
- Renegotiation.
- Buyer bringing additional cash.
- Seller reducing the price.
- Challenging the appraisal.
- Using contractual rights associated with an appraisal contingency.
- Cancelling if permitted under the contract.
The correct response depends on the circumstances.
Step 11: Keep Your Contingency Deadlines in Mind
This is where the transaction becomes very time-sensitive.
Your contract may contain deadlines for:
- Deposit.
- Financing.
- Inspections.
- Investigations.
- Appraisal.
- Other contingencies.
The exact deadlines depend on the agreement you signed.
California DRE reference material notes that residential purchase agreements contain specific time periods and that time can be of the essence; the actual contract controls.
Don't rely on:
"I think we have another week."
Know.
Deadlines Are Not Suggestions
If your contingency deadline is:
Friday
then Friday matters.
If you need an extension, discuss it before the deadline.
Don't wait until the last minute.
Step 12: Investigate the Property During Your Contingency Period
This is where you should be asking questions.
For example:
Does the roof concern me?
Does the HVAC need replacement?
Are there permit issues?
Is the solar agreement acceptable?
Are there HOA concerns?
Is the property insurable?
Does the appraisal support the purchase price?
Does the financing work?
Are there title issues?
This is your opportunity to become comfortable with the purchase.
Step 13: Decide Whether to Request Repairs
Suppose your inspection discovers:
$12,000 of recommended repairs.
What do you do?
You have several possible choices depending on the contract and circumstances.
You might:
Ask the seller to make repairs.
Request a credit where permitted.
Negotiate another adjustment.
Accept the property as-is.
Cancel if you have the contractual right to do so.
The seller isn't automatically required to fix everything the inspector finds.
This is a negotiation.
Don't Turn a $500 Repair Into a $50,000 Problem
This is where perspective matters.
Every inspection report can look scary.
Inspectors are supposed to identify issues.
A report might contain dozens of recommendations.
That doesn't mean the house is falling apart.
Your job is to determine:
What's normal maintenance?
What's significant?
What's urgent?
What's expensive?
What's a safety issue?
What's simply informational?
This is where your inspector and appropriate contractors can be extremely valuable.
Step 14: Decide Whether to Remove Contingencies
This is a major decision.
Removing a contingency generally means you're accepting greater certainty and less contractual flexibility.
Don't remove a contingency simply because someone says:
"That's what buyers do."
Understand what you're giving up.
The DRE emphasizes that contingencies and their timeframes should be part of the offer and that buyers should understand the consequences of the contract.
Contingency Removal Is Not a Ceremony
Don't think of it as:
"It's Tuesday, so I guess we remove everything."
Think:
"Have we completed the due diligence necessary to make this decision?"
That's a much better question.
Step 15: Your Loan Moves Toward Final Approval
Eventually, your lender should reach the point where the loan is ready to close, subject to satisfying remaining conditions.
You may hear:
"Clear to close."
That's a very good phrase.
But continue following your lender's instructions until the transaction actually closes.
Step 16: Review Your Closing Disclosure
If you're financing, you'll receive a Closing Disclosure with important information about your mortgage and closing costs.
Review:
- Loan amount.
- Interest rate.
- Monthly payment.
- Closing costs.
- Credits.
- Cash to close.
- Taxes.
- Insurance.
- Other charges.
The DRE identifies the Closing Disclosure as a financing document detailing financial disbursements and closing costs.
If something doesn't look right:
Ask.
Don't Wait Until the Closing Table to Ask Questions
This is one of the worst times to discover:
"I don't understand this fee."
Review everything ahead of time.
If something changed:
Ask why.
If a credit is missing:
Ask.
If your cash-to-close number doesn't look right:
Ask.
Step 17: Prepare Your Funds
Your escrow officer will provide instructions regarding the amount needed to close and how funds should be delivered.
This is another time to be extremely careful with wire fraud.
Verify instructions independently.
Never assume an email changing wiring instructions is legitimate.
Step 18: The Final Walkthrough
You're almost there.
But you're not done yet.
Before closing, you should perform a final walkthrough.
The DRE specifically recommends that buyers and their agents perform a final walkthrough before closing.
What Are You Looking For?
The final walkthrough isn't another home inspection.
You're generally confirming that:
The property is in the expected condition.
Agreed repairs were completed as required.
The seller has removed their belongings as agreed.
Nothing major has changed unexpectedly.
Included items remain.
The property is generally in the condition contemplated by the agreement.
Don't Treat the Final Walkthrough Like a Victory Lap
You're excited.
You're about to own the house.
But slow down.
Open the cabinets.
Check the appliances.
Look at the areas where repairs were supposed to be completed.
Run through your checklist.
If something isn't right, tell your agent immediately.
Step 19: Sign the Closing Documents
Now comes the paperwork.
There may be a lot of it.
You may sign:
- Loan documents.
- Deed-related documents.
- Escrow documents.
- Disclosures.
- Closing statements.
- Other transaction documents.
Read what you're signing.
If you don't understand something:
Ask.
The DRE specifically advises buyers to read and understand closing documents and ask questions when something is unclear.
Step 20: The Money Moves
Once the transaction's conditions have been satisfied, the escrow holder coordinates the transfer and disbursement of funds.
Your lender sends the loan funds.
Your funds are delivered.
The seller's existing liens and obligations are handled through escrow.
The transaction moves toward recording.
Step 21: Recording
This is the moment buyers have been waiting for.
The deed is recorded.
Ownership transfers according to the transaction.
The DRE explains that once title is issued and escrow closes, the deed should be recorded with the county recorder, typically within one to three days according to its consumer guidance.
Once recording occurs:
You're officially the owner.
Step 22: Get the Keys
Now you get the keys.
And this is the moment when everything becomes real.
The house you saw online.
The house you toured.
The house you negotiated.
The house you inspected.
The house you worried about.
It's now:
Your house.
But You're Not Completely Done
There are still a few things you should do after closing.
Change the Locks
You don't know how many copies of the previous keys exist.
Change the locks or have them rekeyed.
It's inexpensive peace of mind.
Set Up Utilities
Make sure your:
- Electricity.
- Gas.
- Water.
- Internet.
- Trash.
- Other services.
are properly transferred or established.
Keep Your Documents
Keep:
- Closing Disclosure.
- Settlement statement.
- Deed.
- Loan documents.
- Inspection reports.
- Warranties.
- Appliance documentation.
- HOA documents.
- Insurance information.
The DRE recommends keeping physical copies of important mortgage, deed, closing and other property documents in a secure location.
Don't Throw Away the Inspection Report
You may need it later.
You might wonder:
"When was the HVAC replaced?"
Or:
"What did the inspector say about the roof?"
Your inspection report can become a valuable reference document.
Create a Home Maintenance File
Keep information about:
- Roof.
- HVAC.
- Water heater.
- Appliances.
- Plumbing.
- Electrical.
- Solar.
- Landscaping.
- Pool.
- Warranties.
- Contractors.
You're now the homeowner.
You need to start thinking like one.
What Happens to Your Mortgage?
Your monthly mortgage payment will typically include principal and interest.
Depending on your loan structure, it may also include:
- Property taxes.
- Homeowners insurance.
- Mortgage insurance.
- Other amounts collected through escrow.
Understand your payment.
Know when it's due.
Set up automatic payments if appropriate.
Your First Property Tax Bill
Don't assume your mortgage payment is the only tax-related issue.
California property taxes and potential supplemental tax bills can require additional attention.
If you purchased a property and its assessed value changes, a supplemental tax bill may arise.
That's why buyers should understand the property's tax situation before and after closing.
What About the HOA?
If you bought an HOA property, make sure you understand:
- Monthly dues.
- Payment method.
- Rules.
- Parking.
- Trash.
- Landscaping.
- Architectural restrictions.
- Assessments.
- Meeting information.
You are now part of the association.
What About Solar?
Solar deserves special attention.
If the home has solar, understand:
Is it owned?
Financed?
Leased?
Is there a power purchase agreement?
Does the agreement transfer?
What payment remains?
The California DRE specifically advises buyers to understand the financial arrangement associated with a solar system before purchasing a property with one.
What If Something Goes Wrong During Escrow?
It happens.
Maybe:
The appraisal is low.
Maybe:
The inspection reveals a major problem.
Maybe:
The lender needs additional documentation.
Maybe:
The seller hasn't completed an agreed repair.
Maybe:
The buyer's financing changes.
This is why experienced representation matters.
The answer isn't always:
"Cancel."
And it isn't always:
"Keep going."
Sometimes the solution is:
Negotiate.
Escrow Is a Problem-Solving Process
A good transaction isn't necessarily one where nothing goes wrong.
Real estate transactions have a lot of moving parts.
Things happen.
Documents are delayed.
Inspections reveal issues.
Appraisals create questions.
The lender requests more paperwork.
The key is how those issues are handled.
Why Communication Matters So Much
During escrow, communication should be:
Fast.
Clear.
Documented.
Professional.
If your lender emails you:
"We need your bank statement."
Don't wait four days.
If your agent asks:
"Can you sign this?"
Don't ignore the message.
If escrow says:
"We need verification."
Respond.
The transaction has deadlines.
Your Realtor's Job Doesn't End When the Offer Is Accepted
This is an important point.
Some buyers think:
"The agent found me the house, so now escrow handles everything."
Not exactly.
Your agent should remain involved throughout the transaction.
That can include helping coordinate:
- Inspections.
- Disclosures.
- Repairs.
- Appraisal issues.
- Contingencies.
- Communication.
- Escrow.
- Lender coordination.
- Final walkthrough.
The DRE notes that real estate agents can play an important role in explaining disclosures and paperwork and helping buyers navigate the transaction.
What Your Lender Should Be Doing
Your lender should be:
Communicating.
Processing your loan.
Ordering the appraisal.
Reviewing documentation.
Managing underwriting.
Meeting deadlines.
If your lender disappears for days at a time, that's a problem.
What Escrow Should Be Doing
Your escrow officer is generally coordinating the transactional mechanics.
They may be handling:
- Funds.
- Documents.
- Payoffs.
- Signatures.
- Closing statements.
- Recording.
- Disbursement.
Escrow is the neutral party.
They're not your real estate negotiator.
They're there to execute the transaction according to the agreement and applicable requirements.
The Buyer Has Responsibilities Too
Don't forget your role.
You need to:
- Deliver funds.
- Provide documents.
- Complete inspections.
- Respond to lender requests.
- Review disclosures.
- Meet contingency deadlines.
- Obtain insurance.
- Sign documents.
- Attend the final walkthrough.
- Complete the purchase.
Your team can help.
But they can't do everything for you.
A Typical Escrow Timeline
The exact timeline depends on your contract and circumstances, but the process generally looks something like this:
Day 1
Offer accepted.
Days 1–3
Deposit and escrow setup.
Early Escrow
Inspections and investigations.
Early/Mid Escrow
Disclosures reviewed.
Mid Escrow
Appraisal and loan processing.
Throughout Escrow
Contingency deadlines and negotiations.
Later Escrow
Loan approval and closing preparation.
Final Days
Closing Disclosure, final funds and final walkthrough.
Closing
Documents signed.
Recording
Deed recorded.
Congratulations
You own the home.
The exact dates and deadlines are controlled by your purchase agreement—not by a generic internet timeline. California DRE reference materials emphasize that residential contracts establish specific performance periods and that time can be of the essence.
The Most Important Thing to Remember
Once your offer is accepted, don't stop paying attention.
This is when you need to become even more engaged.
You have moved from:
Shopping
to:
Executing.

Always verify.
Local Perspective
After more than 20 years in real estate, I've learned that getting an offer accepted is one of the most exciting moments for a buyer.
But it's also the moment when the transaction becomes much more serious.
I've seen buyers celebrate the acceptance of an offer and then immediately become overwhelmed by:
Escrow.
Inspections.
Disclosures.
Appraisal.
Lender requests.
Insurance.
Contingency deadlines.
Closing documents.
That's completely understandable.
There's a lot happening.
My job isn't just to help you get an offer accepted.
It's to help you understand what happens after the offer is accepted and help keep all the moving pieces organized.
Whether you're buying in San Ramon, Danville, Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, Alamo, Walnut Creek or another East Bay community, the process can feel complicated.
But when you understand the sequence, it becomes much easier.
You don't have to know everything.
You just need to know:
What happens next.
And who is responsible for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does escrow take in California?
There is no universal escrow length. The contract establishes the closing date and other deadlines. The timeline can vary depending on financing, inspections, title, negotiations and the specific transaction.
What happens immediately after my offer is accepted?
The transaction generally moves into escrow, the buyer's deposit is delivered according to the contract, and the parties begin completing inspections, disclosures, financing, title and other contractual requirements.
When do I pay my deposit?
Your purchase agreement establishes the amount and deadline. Follow the exact instructions from your escrow holder and agent.
Can I still back out after my offer is accepted?
It depends on the contract, contingencies, deadlines and circumstances. Buyers should understand their contractual rights and obligations before cancelling. The DRE warns that cancelling a binding purchase agreement can affect the buyer's deposit.
When should I get a home inspection?
As early as practical within the timeframe established by your contract.
Do I need a pest inspection?
It can be a valuable part of due diligence, particularly depending on the property's age, condition and construction. The DRE specifically recommends considering a pest inspection.
When does the appraisal happen?
For financed purchases, the lender generally orders the appraisal during the loan process after the offer is accepted.
What happens if the appraisal is low?
Possible solutions can include renegotiation, additional buyer funds, challenging the appraisal, or exercising contractual rights. The correct approach depends on the contract and circumstances.
When do I remove contingencies?
Your purchase agreement establishes the applicable deadlines. Never assume the deadlines are the same for every transaction.
Can I negotiate repairs after the inspection?
Depending on your contract and remaining contingencies, buyers and sellers may negotiate repairs or other solutions.
What happens if the seller won't make the repairs?
Your options depend on the contract, contingency status and negotiation. You may accept the condition, negotiate another solution, or potentially cancel if you have the contractual right to do so.
When should I get homeowners insurance?
As early as possible during escrow. Don't wait until the last minute to discover an insurance issue.
What happens at the final walkthrough?
You generally confirm that the property is in the expected condition, agreed work has been addressed, and included items remain before closing.
When do I get the keys?
Typically after the transaction closes and the applicable recording and possession requirements are satisfied. The exact timing depends on the contract and transaction.
When do I officially own the house?
In a typical California purchase, ownership transfers through the closing and recording process. The DRE notes that the deed should be recorded with the county recorder after escrow closes.

Your Next Step
If your offer has just been accepted, congratulations.
Take a moment to enjoy it.
Then get organized.
Make a list of:
Your escrow officer
Your lender
Your inspections
Your contingency deadlines
Your insurance
Your required documents
Your closing funds
Your final walkthrough
And keep communication moving.
The house isn't yours just because the seller said yes.
It's yours when you've successfully completed the transaction.
That's why the period between:
"Congratulations, your offer was accepted."
and
"Congratulations, you're officially a homeowner."
matters so much.
If you're preparing to buy a home in San Ramon, Danville, Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, Alamo, Walnut Creek or throughout the East Bay, understanding the process before you enter escrow can make the experience dramatically less stressful.
Because buying a home shouldn't feel like you're walking into a maze.
You should know where you're going—and what happens at every turn.
